I think my first subscription to a publication was the Sport Collectors Digest (SCD) back in the mid-late 70's. I ran across the Trader Speaks back then also, but didn't subscribe. Those definitely were some fun times in the hobby.

I've been out of the hobby for about 40 years but have kept track of it ever since. I remember for year-after-year, the two most expensive cards were the Honus Wagner card and from the modern era, the Pete Rose Rookie card. Rose card bounced from $400 to $1000 before the prices EXPLODED!
